There's Always A Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Sarah's POV
I woke up feeling as if someone had hit me over the head with a two ton slab of concrete. My head was throbbing, I had cuts and bruises all over my body. I tried to get my bearings on where I was but, all could see was the faint light beside me and the rest was just a pool of black. It seemed like I was in a basement or a could have been a cave for all I knew, it was damp and cold. There was no wind so I knew I wasn't outside. There wasn't anything I could do. I knew I didn't have the strength to stand up, or even sit up. So I laid motionless in the dark with my eyes open, knowing someone was watching. Then just as soon as I woke I slipped back into the depths of unconsciousness.
The next time I woke I was being looked down upon by two huge trench coated figures. And that's when I figured out who my captors are. The mogadorians had found out about me. There was no doubt in my mind they were using me as bait on John or they were going to torture me into telling them where he was. I did know where he had been last though. He was in Bulgaria searching for Number Five, which had been a success. He sent me a text saying he loved me and where he was. Once in awhile I would get a text from John or call. I never knew when or what the number would be since he ditched sim cards every week. I hoped that John wouldn't come and save me, because that could very well mean his death. I would rather die protecting him, than him die trying to save me. But I knew that once John found out I was missing he would come straight to Paradise and start looking for me.
John's POV
It was night time in Sofia the capitol of Bulgaria. Six, Sam, and I had just gotten back to our small hotel room on the outside of the city away from everything, knowing the mogs liked to dwell near cities. Sam walked over to the small desk where he sat in front of his laptop searching the internet. Six walked over to the television and was searching the news channels. I went to sit next to Six on the couch trying to relax. Lately all I had been thinking about was Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. And frankly everyone was getting a little annoyed, but I couldn't help how I felt.
"John." Sam said in scared, anxious kind of voice.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Get over here." He demanded. I walked over to the computer with Six at my heels and read the headline on the CNN news page.
"Sarah Hart Missing For Five Days" The headline read. I was in shock my Sarah was missing. Someone had taken my Sarah and they were going to pay. I started to read the article.
Sarah Hart Missing For Five Days
Sarah Hart has not been found. The police have put out a national alert for anyone who had seen the Ohio teen. It is suspected that John Smith her former boyfriend, and suspected terrorist was behind her disappearance. Her mother came home right after work on Monday to find Sarah missing and blood stains on the carpet, that were later confirmed belonging to the Ohio teen. Search parties have been set into place to help look for Sarah Hart but no evidence has turned up in this case. John Smith is now number one on Americas Most Wanted for the incident at the Paradise high school and for miss Hart's disappearance. He nor his father Henri have been since the events that took place at the high school. Any news concerning John Smith or Sarah Hart please call 1-800-555-7998. As more information concerning out Sarah Harts disappearance comes out this sight will be updated.
Friends and Family have set up a shrine in Sarah's honor in front of the Hart's family home. May Sarah be in our prays as her disappearance continues and people continue to search for her.
"She's gone, and they think I did it." I said, as tears start to well up in the corner of my eyes. Sam's in the same vote as me, while Six stands behind me in shock as we all finish reading the article. Six puts a reassuring hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me and assure me that everything will be okay. But I knew Sarah wouldn't be okay. I had my suspicions on who took her and I would bet a million dollars I was right.
"It's the mogs they found out about her." Six hissed, saying exactly what I was thinking.
"We don't know that for sure. It could just be some crazy person." Sam said in a hopeful tone. You could see in his eyes he knew that his idea wasn't very accurate, but we were all hoping that he could have been right.
"I have to go back to Paradise and find her." I said, while heading to my room getting ready to gather my belongings.
"John, they are using her to get to you. If you go you are falling into one of there traps." Sam was yelling at him.
"So what if it is a trap? They have Sarah. I can't wait around and do nothing while they have her. Who knows what they are doing to her right now. I will do anything for her. I have to go." John snapped at both Sam and Six who were both staring at him with their mouths open.
"Then we are going with you." Six stated bluntly while Sam nodded his head. "You don't have to do this alone, John."
We all started to pack our belongings and then we headed for the airport. As we did we picked up Five at café. Five and his cepean were going to meet us at our apartment but, we didn't have time to wait. I was furious now. I couldn't get my mind off of Sarah and rage consumed my whole aura. They would pay if they hurt a single hair on her head, I decided.
Sarah's POV ( A few hours before John's POV and goes all the way up to the end of his POV and a little more)
By now the mogadorians had me chained to the wall by my wrists, with my feet barely touching the floor. The mogadorians were smiling at me now as they moved what looked like a camera about ten, fifteen feet away from me. I could tell this wasn't going to end well for me, this was my last stand. My last chance to protect John. As the camera was moved into place the red light that indicated it was recording went on.
"Hello beautiful." The mogadorian in the who seemed to be the one in charge said. "I can see why he fell for you." He snorted. I just gave him a glare that seemed to cut through the space in between the mogadorian and I. He just laughed even more.
"Why don't you just kill me now because we both know your going to kill me in the end. Why prolong the excitement." I said in a blunt tone trying to disguise my fear with strength.
"Ah but where's the fun in that. I want to see your boyfriend suffer before we kill you both. And to kill you both we need your boyfriend so you are going to tell us where he is or we will send out this video and lour him here. It's your choice we can do this the easy way or the hard way beautiful." The mogadorian said with a huge grin on his face. "So where is Number Four?"
"I don't know who you mean." I said in a confused tone, even though I knew exactly who he was talking about.
"Ah so we are going to do this the hard way Miss Hart. Is that right?"
I said nothing. The mogadorian motioned for someone to come forward. Out of the darkness came another mogadorian with a huge duffel bag. I assumed it was filled with torturing tools of some sort. The mogadorian handed the bag to the leader and he opened the bag revealing all sorts of needles, knifes, and other torturing devices and placing them all on the floor in clear view of the camera. He grabbed the last thing out of the bag and strapped it on to his right hand. When his hand came into view it had a pair of brass knuckles on each hand. He stepped over the weapon pile on the floor and walked over to me. He brought his arm back getting ready to deliver a blow to my face. His arm swung forward and my head snapped to the side in pain, blood was now streaming down my face from the impact of his fist. This would only be the beginning of a very long death. That continued another dozen times. Just as I felt myself succumbing to darkness I was experiencing more pain than before as a healing stone was placed under my tongue. I started to heal and then they took away the healing stone till they knew I was well enough to continue.
This time he grabbed a dagger from the weapon pile and asked the same questions. Of course I didn't answer, instead I spit the blood that was in my mouth in his face. He wiped it away with a glare and took the knife and stabled my right leg. I screeched in pain. The knife had gone all the way through my leg and was stopped by the wall of stone I was suspended from.
Hours of torture and pain the video camera was shut off, my chains were cut. I sat lying on the floor motionless. I had no energy left and they knew that I certainly didn't have enough to escape. So I just sat there in pain. From what I could tell my arm was broken, my shoulder dislocated, I had tons of scratches and cuts and bruises, there were stab wounds all over me and blood pouring from everywhere I looked. I was tired and in pain.
"Just wait till tomorrow." The mogadorian said as he left me to myself in the darkness. It was hopeless I was going to die without ever seeing John, or Sam, or Six, or even my family again. I was beaten down my hope was almost gone, unlike my strength which at this point had already left my body. All that was left was the pain and that ounce of hop that I had left, now I could feel that I was losing myself. The darkness over whelmed me and I was sent into unconsciousness once again.
John's POV
"John look at this." Sam motioned to him.
They were in the airport, waiting for their flight. Nobody was around except a few people walking around. For the capitol of Bulgaria, the airport was empty. So I looked at the screen as did Six. Five and his Jeff (his cepean) stayed sitting down knowing it wasn't any of their business. He was on an email account which must have been Sarah's. There was one new message. He clicked on it. Then I video popped up. The lighting was dim so you couldn't really see anything but, I could tell there was a mog in the background. On the wall I could see Sarah strapped to the wall. I gasped.
"Is that Sarah?" Sam asked. I nodded with a sullen look on my face. This wasn't going to be a good video. As the video continued it showed her being tortured about me, I couldn't look away I was so shocked and scared. If I thought I was mad before, I was way worse now. My hands were clenched into fists trying to hide the glow coming from them. I was sweating, my face probably looked like a tomato. People started staring at, probably thinking I was some kind of crazy person, but I didn't care. Sarah was my life, the reason I was fighting, if she died part of me would die with her. I couldn't afford to lose her, not now, not ever.
Sam looked like he was getting punched repeatedly, in the stomach and he was about to throw up. Six had a twisted look on her face that looked hurt just like Sam's. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. At the end of the video a mog came on the camera.
"Don't go anywhere, there will be another video waiting for you tomorrow." The mog said in the video as someone in the background cut the chains that held Sarah to the wall. She groaned as she fell to the ground. Then the screen went black.
"This is all my fault. I thought she would be safe if I left her." I said. I am supposed to protect her, keep her safe and out of harms way. I am supposed to be getting hunted by mogs not her.
"Four it's not your fault. Things happen, bad things, very bad things." Six said.
I'm sorry if I spelled cepean wrong or mogadorian. I didn't have my book with me and the internet wasn't working so sorry.
